No, it’s not. How many times can it be said that Zimmerman is part of Neighborhood WATCH, not Neighborhood Pursuit. The dispatcher discouraged him from following/looking for Martin. The police had been dispatched.
I’ve asked numerous times, but I can’t get anyone to speculate, what was Zimmerman’s purpose in getting out of his truck?

Who cares? He was getting back into his truck when he was attacked. So a better question is why did Martin attack him?

Zimmerman’s responsibility was to report potential “thugs,” not confront them, not stop them. That’s the police’s job.

“not confront them, not stop them. That’s the police’s job.”

I see you’re an indoctrinated sheeple. That is NOT the job of the police. They DO NOT have a duty to respond nor take ANY action if they do respond.

The fight couldn’t have happened if Zimmerman had stayed in his vehicle as the dispatcher suggested. The police were on their way, according to the dispatcher. What in the heck was Zimmerman going to do anyway?
Given my post above, I'm trying to figure out how you arrive at a brainless comment like "Are you Trayvon's mom?" Isn't it great that you get to post anonymously, so no one knows who you are? What a deal for you.

And I see that you’re one of those people who likes to use that tired, worn out, overused word “sheeple” when you can think of anything original to say.

Why don’t YOU tell me what Zimmerman hoped to gain by getting out and looking for Martin? You know it all. Was he going to arrest him? Was he going to hold him at gunpoint until the police arrived? What did he hope to achieve? Because all he succeeded in doing is making an innocent person, by all accounts, fearful enough for his safety to attack him (it appears). Just the way a mighty man such as yourself would do if someone were dogging you for what turns out to be no reason.

Zimmerman bears a heavy responsibility in this, regardless of legalities.

Oh. Well, why didn't you just SAY that we were going to throw all the applicable laws out the window and render a verdict based on what YOU "feel"?

Trayvon Martin Slaying Shows the Young Black Male Is Black Society’s Prime Target

There, fixed it. Most young black males killed are killed by other blacks.

Don't waste your breath. Clara Lou thinks if you get out of your vehicle when you get home, it must be because you want to kill a Black person, somewhere, somehow.

I don't know why she believes this drivel. She just does.

There's no need to repeat. I heard you the first time.

It's obvious that I think your point is lame. From the account in the Florida paper, it seems that the democrat Zimmerman was talking to 911 while he was out of the truck already.

He was returning to the truck when the yute assaulted him.

For you in Rio Linda, let me restate myself at your level: I suspect that Zimmerman is legally guilty of no crime. He does, however, have to live with the fact that this would not have happened if he had remained in his truck and WATCHed.

Stereotype or Fact??? It carries weight because well over 50% of the murders are committed by 12% of the population( guess what that is), and almost half are under 22 years of age. And that is combining Females and Males.

Me: You call me brainless when it is you who are defending the Thug Trayvon while ripping Zimmerman. Anyway, when you go to the rally, say hey to Al Sharpton for me. I am sure he is impressed with your large brain.

I’m pretty sure you’re the one residing in Rio Linda. If we could all see into the future, I’m sure there’s lots of things we’d do differently, including you.

It’s inaccurate, hyperventilating weenies such as yourself who have blown this incident into a near race-war I didn’t “rip” Zimmerman. I criticized him for getting out of his truck when he should have remained inside and awaited the police.

What a drama queen you are. [Just FYI: I’ve been a monthly donor here for years.]

You might be a good freeper otherwise, but you’re wrong on this one. It doesn’t take a drama queen to see that. BTW- Most here seem to disagree with you.

I can respect your opinion (except for the "ripping" comment). At the same time, the number of people who disagree with me is not an indicator whether my belief is correct or incorrect. We can agree to disagree as to whether he should have gotten out of his truck. What we must agree on is that there would have been no physical altercation if he had remained in his truck.

I do find it interesting that not one FReeper over the last two days has answered my question: What could Zimmerman have hoped to gain by getting out and looking for Martin (with police on the way, per the dispatcher)? No one will offer an answer.

Your question makes no difference. The fact that Zimmerman got out of his truck does not give the thug the right to beat the crap out of him. In fact, that is why Zimmerman was never charged, because a witness attested to this fact.
